Los Angeles: Actor Hugh Jackman says his characterWolverine in the upcoming X Men franchise is vulnerable inevery way.

The 44-year-old's character faces loneliness in TheWolverine and is anguished over the death of close friendsand his love Jean Grey, reported Contactmusic.

"In this story, he becomes literally vulnerable in everyway. Not just emotionally, but physically vulnerable, andthose implications were fun to play," said Jackman.

"You see Logan at his lowest point at the beginning ofthis movie; the tragedy of his wasted life. For the sake ofnot only himself but everyone around him, he thinks it'sbetter to be away because when he comes back to the world,there's destruction and pain," added Jackman.

The Wolverine is set post the events of the movie XMen: The Last Stand, which was released in 2006.

"I have a hero who has lost everything and everyone, someat his own hands. In some cases the casualty of being [nearly]immortal is that you outlast the mortals you love and you haveto go on forever without them.

"For me, finding a character in that predicament of beinglost emotionally, but not depressed, was the classicpredicament of Westerns and samurai films," says JamesMangold, the director of the film.
